标 题：有益的
经 节：圣经都是神所默示的，于教训、督责、使人归正、教导人学义都是有益的，叫属神的人得以完全，预备行各样的善事。（提摩太后书三章16-17节）
所有的经文都是有益的！当我们不接受圣经中每一卷书、每个真理、每句经文、和每一页记载神的应许及命令时，我们就是自欺欺人。因为圣经中每一句经文都是神所默示的，于我们有益，不应只挑自己喜欢的经文去研读。我们不应当单单强调自己喜欢的经文，而忽视那些定罪我们的经文！若想成为跟随基督的成熟门徒，一定要愿意让每节经文对我们说话、教导我们神要我们学的功课。圣经让我们能评判教义的正确性。圣经应该是我们纠正及责备别人的基础。
倘若你没有牢固地把根基建立在神的话语之上，你会被各式各样的教条、生活方式、和行动围困，你无法衡量它们是否合乎神的心意。你不可能远离神的话语，而能建立公义的生活。公义是需要培育的。当你被神的话语所充满，并且顺服神的指示，祂会以公义的方式指引你。经文会装备你去行神召你做的事。如果你自觉能力不足以行神所交付的任务，要回到神的话语上，你会在神的话语中找到所需的智慧，执行祂所交付的任务。要让神的话语充满你、指引你，并且使你的生命更丰盛。
Profitable
All
Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God
may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
All
Scripture is profitable! Knowing this, we cheat ourselves when we do not access
every book, every truth, every verse, and every page of our Bibles for the
promises and commands God has for us. Because every verse of Scripture is
inspired by God and gainful to us, we should not pick and choose which verses
we will read and study. We should not claim verses we like and ignore those
that convict us! If we are to become mature disciples of Jesus, we must allow
every Scripture to speak to us and teach us what God desires us to learn.
Scripture enables us to evaluate the soundness of doctrines that are being
taught. Scripture ought to be the basis for any reproof or correction we bring
to another.
If
you are not firmly grounded in God’s Word, you will be bombarded with an
assortment of doctrines, lifestyles, and behaviors, and you will have no means
to evaluate whether or not they are of God. You cannot develop a righteous life
apart from God’s Word. Righteousness must be cultivated. As you fill your mind
with the words of God, and as you obey His instructions, He will guide you in
the ways of righteousness. Scripture will equip you for any good work God calls
you to do. If you feel inadequate for a task God has given you, search the
Scriptures, for within them you will find the wisdom you need to carry out His
assignment. Allow the Word of God to permeate, guide, and enrich your life.
